2. What type of financial aid is available?
Graduate program resources for financial aid are limited, therefore, most non-scholarship aid is derived from the U.S. federal government. Federal financial aid is available only to US citizens and U.S. permanent residents. For details refer to http://www.ess.calpoly.edu/_finaid/
Financial resources are extremely limited for international students. This necessitates adequate financial planning on your part prior to enrolling.
3. What opportunity exists for me to work in order to finance my Cal Poly MBA education?
Due to the nature of the curriculum, students pursuing the accelerated track (Track One) in the MBA program are strongly discouraged from working during their 10-month program and studies. For students pursuing Track Two, Dual Degree programs, or MS BT program part-time work may be a possibility depending on their schedule.

Note that under no circumstances will work or work commitments be allowed or suffice as an excuse for poor academic performance.
